Big Dipper
Music by Elton John

G D
G
Now I saw you talking to a cute little slip of a sailor
G
And it looked at first like the whole thing would end as a failure
C G
He had a thing about a quarter to four
Bm Em D4
And he just couldn't handle any more
G D G Am GB
He's got his own big dipper so he won't be needing your big dipper
C D G D
He's got his own big dipper and he won't be needing yours
G
So you filled him up with all kinds of stuff to relax him
G
And you took him down to the fairground after some action
C G
And by around about a quarter to six
Bm Em D4
You found a different way to get your kicks
G D
Up on the real big dipper where you tried an few new tricks
Am GB
Big dipper
C D G D
Up on a great big dipper did you learn a few new licks
G
C G
He hadn't been too keen at the start
Bm Em D4
Now he seems to have a change of heart
G
He's got his own big dipper
D G Am GB
Only now he's not so sure, big dipper
C
He's got his own big dipper
D G
But there's always room for more
Everybody's got a song to sing
C G
Everybody's got to do their thing, big dipper, big dipper
Everybody's got a song to sing
C G
Everybody's got to do their thing, big dipper, big dipper
CG
And at around about a quarter to ten
Bm Em D4
You got up and did it all again
G D G
He's got his own big dipper and now he knows just what it's for
Am GB
Big dipper
C D G
He's got his own big dipper but he's got his eye on yours
G D
Another ride, another tune
GB F9
Another crazy afternoon
G D G
Another reason for squeezing your big dipper
